Hi, I have never done an oil change in a lawn mower. I have some questions.
1) I should tip the mower dipstick side down to drain the oil? Correct?
2) I wasn't able to find the owner's manual, but I was able to get the specifications from lawnboy.com. Is 20 oz the oil capacity? So that's a little more than half quart?
3)It states 30w, but I have seen 4 cycle engine oil. Since this mower has a 4 cycle engine, should I use 30w or 4 cycle engine oil?
Thanks, feel free to give some tips or warnings.
